Turkeys downing of Russian jet leads to new Mideast crisis.


There has been a new Middle Eastern crisis on Tuesday after warplanes from member states of turkey shot down a su-24, Russian jet. A Turkish official said that turkey has violated the countries airspace on the border with Syria.

Now this incident has marked a serious escalation in the Syrian conflict that is likely the strain the relations between Russia and NATO alliances. In reality Russian officials has confirmed that a Russian SU-24 attack aircraft was shot down on Tuesday morning and they have insisted that it has not violated turkeys airspace.

Again Russia’s defense ministry has confirmed that turkey shoots down Russian jet at least two pilots have probably died during the incident and a marine was also killed by apparent Syrian insurgent fire during a helicopter rescue operation to retrieve the downed airmen.

Now let me inform you that this Russian jet, su24incident, brings renewed attention to a scenario feared for months by the pentagon of a potential conflict arising from overlapping air mission over Syria, with Russia backing the government of Syrian president along with a US led coalition conducting airstrikes against Islamic state.

Now Turkish officials have accused Russian jetshot down Russia of repeated airspace violation since it launched airstrikes against armed opposition in late September. Now Russian president Vladimir Putin has strong words for turkey calling the entire incident a back stab.


Turkey’s military has said that turkey su-24the Russian jet was warned multiple times before it was targeted by two F-16 fighter jets in the border zone in the mountains not far from the Mediterranean coast.
